I've only dealt with one manufacturer where I needed this level of detail and it was readily available under NDA. I would assume that if I needed to configure the card at the base level (e.g. set the protocols T=1 and SCP02 or 03 etc) I could get the information from other manufacturers if I ordered enough in quantity and I was prepared to do all the card assembly gorp. A better way is generally to find a company that's already set up to do this and work through them. > In these initialization states, cards are not javacards yet, they are totally > proprietary objects, as you might already know. Actually they *are* javacards, just with a whole lot more switches and levers. And the ability to add native code (think being able to add the bignum library and expose it at the javacard level). >Aditionnaly, please avoid talking about "JCOP" when referring to Java Card, >JCOP is a (not so good for all applications) NXP product, and fortunately, >there are bunch of other manufacturers and cards, such as the Oberthur Cosmo, >the Gemalto GXP/GCX and some others at G&D, for example. For better or worse, the JCOP cards seem to be more available in small quantity purchases than most of the other smart cards. The only other ones I can generally find in small quantities are the Aladdin eToken cards and those have at times required you to purchase the middleware along with the card on the retail sites I've found.
